Classic Claremont Ranch Style with Beautiful Gardens. Sited on a 15,000 square foot lot, on the outer bend of a quiet residential street just west of Claremont Village, this house and property have been lovingly maintained and improved. Striking curb appeal accented by colorful drought-tolerant flora. Through the front door are beautiful, recently refinished hardwood floors which extend through the house. Spacious sunlit front living room with original wood frame windows and a fireplace. The dining room and family room offer French doors with expansive views of the beautiful backyard. These rooms open to the kitchen nook which has counter seating and space for a breakfast table. Classic galley kitchen with original, refinished, quality-built cabinetry full of character and charm. The house offers four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The fourth bedroom is a large, permitted addition complete with its own set of French doors opening to the back patio. Indoor laundry room. Recent improvements to the house include newer interior and exterior paint, dual pane windows and French doors, Solatube lighting, a new roof in 2011, new AC, ducts and insulation installed by Home Performance Matters in 2015, a new electrical service panel installed 2016, and a new furnace installed in 2021. The whole house fan is a major money saver on cooling bills. A long driveway provides ample parking space and leads to the detached two-car garage with an extra storage room built onto the back. The enormous backyard is a key highlight of the property, featuring terraced topography, thoughtfully landscaped with a striking variety of colorful drought-tolerant plant species including a stepable lawn area, decomposed granite walking paths and sitting areas, and an attractive patio. This property is a spectacular setting for both entertaining and private enjoyment!
